Paul and Val Howkins bought a Prestcold fridge for £65 in 1959 and it's been kicking ever since—besides one part that was replaced 30 years ago.

Me? I'm not even older than that replacement part, so there's no way that I can trump the Howkins' tale. But I do have to say that I've gotten plenty of use out of my iPod. It's a first generation classic that I picked up (ahead of the trend—ahem!) back in 2002. Although the battery has long lost it's ability to hold a charge, it works perfectly when it's perched in my iHome dock and plugged in to the wall.
